This is a master manipulator.
“A person who controls or influences others in a clever or unscrupulous way.”
This is why we must love, accept, and trust ourselves, so that we can stand up to unscrupulous behavior.
When we doubt our feelings, and push them away, and then write a story like, “Oh they didn’t treat me so bad, I must have done something to provoke it” or you use toxic positivity and say,
“I shouldn’t have reacted so negatively” we are giving in to the manipulation and abandoning ourselves.
It’s okay to respond “negatively” there is nothing wrong with you when this happens.
Of course own your response in a situation, but make sure you communicate that the other person MUST own their behavior, otherwise there can be no helpful resolution.
Nothing will change and you deserve to be seen, heard, respected, and loved.❤️
(Confront a manipulator about what they did wrong, and watch them make it about you.-unknown)
